Abstract

Detailed knowledge regarding the availability of potential groundwater sources is a prerequisite for the sustainable development of cities and towns in a planned manner. The present study is carried out to identify the potential groundwater sources for the growth of towns and cities around Virudhunagar district, India by integrated geospatial techniques and analytical hierarchy method. The groundwater potential zones are divided into four groups: low, medium, high, and very high. It is observed that 18.41% and 34.1% fall under the low and medium zones, respectively. The high and very high groundwater potential zone encompasses an area of 11.95% and 35.23% of the total area respectively. Finally, the identified groundwater potential zones are validated with reported potential yield data of various wells which shows a good correlation. The findings of this study will assist urban planners and decision-makers in better planning and development of future cities and towns.
基于地理空间技术和层次分析法的城市发展地下水潜力识别
详细了解潜在地下水资源的可得性,是有计划地实现城镇可持续发展的先决条件。本研究采用综合地理空间技术和层次分析法,为印度Virudhunagar地区周边城镇的发展确定潜在的地下水资源。地下水潜势区分为低、中、高、极高四类。18.41%和34.1%分别属于低、中区域。地下水高潜势区和极高潜势区分别占总面积的11.95%和35.23%。最后,将识别出的地下水潜力带与各口井报告的潜在产量数据进行了验证,结果显示出较好的相关性。这项研究的结果将有助于城市规划者和决策者更好地规划和发展未来的城镇。
